"Rosie", by Joan Armatrading
G
He has little red feet
His stockin's in his shoes
C D G
Lipstick and rouge on his face
He has his hair piled high
Has a red umbrella
C D G
And carries his head in the sky
Em D G Em
And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys
C D
Don't you come on so willing
G Em C D Em
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
Em C D G
And your warmth sets like the sun
G
He has a little baby brother
A big fat mama
C D G
His sister asks for dimes on the street
He doesn't feel it's a cover
In fact he knows
C D G
For sure he can please
I said he's out there right now
Running with the devil
C D G
Struttin' down the alley ways
With the nervous young hopeful
At his heel
C D G
And know his satisfaction won't drive him away
Em D G Em
And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys
C D
Don't you come on so willing
G Em C D Em
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
Em C D G
And your warmth sets like the sun
He's not looking for a friend
He's not looking for a lover
C D G
There in the crowded bar
He has rings on his fingers
He's there to tease
C D G
You know he only wants to take things too far
Em D G Em
And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys
C D
Don't you come on so willing
G Em C D Em
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
